driver side door lock

[ReggieSD]

just wanted to know if anyone had ever had this problem and what the fix is to it for the 6th gen.

my driver side lock won't close in and the door itself won't lock...but when i hit teh lock switch i could hear it locking...except the driver side doesn't look like it's latching. the lock itself won't move from the unlock position (it moves a lil bit but hardly any at all). i haven't opened the door panel yet coz i'm trying to see if there's anyone here who's had trouble with it before. thanks!

All hondas i ever owned did that, pull the handle then lock it.

that doesn't work man...feels like the latch isn't going in whenever i lock it. same concept as when you still have the driver side door open and you try to lock it and nothing happens...except it does it even when you have the door closed.

Hmm, Is it cus its winter? WD40? U mite need to take off the door panel

 

[ReggieSD]

yeah...i'll take a look at it this weekend i guess. i was gonna put on some type r door panels anyway, so i might as well do all of it in one time.

Does it atleast lock?

 

[ReggieSD]

nope...that part i'm worried but not so much since i only drive it to work and we have pretty tight security where i work at.

it happened to me. i was trying to lock it with my keless entry and it just wouldnt go. i think i unscrewed the panel and took it off and within all that jolting to get the cover off i think i fixed it. just take that thing off and look around while your in there. you dont need to take the panel off yet.
